By @MichaelCaples –

The Grand Rapids Griffins are getting ready for their second-round playoff match-up, but they’re working towards the future.

The AHL franchise announced today that they have signed Michigan native Corey Elkins to a one-year contract for the 2017-18 season.

Elkins, 32, has spent the last five seasons with HIFK Helsinki. He is an Ohio State alum who played for the Manchester Monarchs (and three games with the Los Angeles Kings) before heading overseas.
